But what makes them even better is if they're written by a talented interior designer with loads of knowledge to share. Now your book is not just for display, it’s actually useful, and this year’s releases are a treasure trove of tips, tricks, ideas, and gorgeous interiors to dream about and get inspired by.

Some of the most celebrated interior designers have collected their knowledge, projects and vision in the best interior design books that you can spend hours poring over, while sat in your comfortable reading nook.

Happy reading!
